At the upcoming EIMA 2016, the International Agricultural and Gardening Machinery Exhibition taking place every two years, BKT will appear along with its Italian distributor for agricultural and agro-industrial tires, Univergomma. Here is a list of the star products that will be on display at the stand.

Agrimax Force

When talking about agricultural machinery, our first thought goes to the agricultural sector's strong suits: tractors that are tireless and irreplaceable workmates of farmers all over the world. BKT has always focused in particular on the research and development of tires specifically designed for high-power tractors (above 250 HP). BKT displays one of its high-end products: Agrimax Force, (IF 800/70 R 42 size). Thanks to the IF technology, which has been further developed by BKT, this tire features a higher load capacity at lower inflation pressure compared to a standard tire of the same size, to the full benefit of the soil since compaction is significantly reduced. Moreover, when moving from road to field usage and vice versa, Agrimax Force can travel at speeds of up to 65 km/h without having to change the inflation pressure. This turns into significant time savings.

Agrimax Sirio

For high-performance tractors, BKT presents Agrimax Sirio, specifically designed for towing heavy loads. In spite of the high speeds that can be reached (up to 70 km/h even if taking in tow heavy loads), this cutting-edge tire with class E speed index proves to be very environmentally friendly, thanks to the reduced rolling resistance that helps to save fuel and pollute less. This tire will be on display at EIMA in the 710/70 R 38 size.

Agrimax Spargo

What is the first thing that one asks of a tire fitted on sprayers for row crops? To easily pass through the rows without damaging the crops and to reduce soil compaction as much as possible. Agrimax Spargo, on display at EIMA in size VF 380/90 R 46, precisely meets these requirements. Moreover, it offers greater load capacity compared to a standard tire with the same size and inflation pressure, thanks to the VF technology, further developed by BKT.

Agrimax RT 600

Gentleness is everything, even when it comes to working on grassland, lawns as well as loose and soft soil. For a soft and delicate passage on these surfaces, BKT offers Agrimax RT 600, on display at the EIMA stand in size 800/65 R 32, an ideal tire for its outstanding flotation features, high load capacity, extraordinary stability and excellent traction.

Ridemax FL 693 M

Trailers, tank trucks and spreaders that are faced with daily road travel can literally rest on the tires of the Flotation line, designed for agricultural trailers. On display at EIMA in size 560/60 R 22.5, Ridemax FL 693 M, which has been conceived for 75% on-the-road use. Actually, it has excellent self-cleaning properties, offers great driving comfort along with low fuel consumption, reduced rolling resistance and a class D/E speed index. This is the ideal tire for combined on-and-off-the-road usage.

Multimax MP 522

For agro-industrial applications, BKT has decided to showcase two tires at its stand: Multimax MP 522 (size 460/70 R 24) and Con Star (size 400/70 – 20). Multimax MP 522 is a radial tire featuring a reinforced bead and a steel-belted casing, which provides superior grip, excellent puncture resistance, extraordinary load capacity, and great stability - crucial properties when carrying out excavating and loading operations.

Con Star

Specifically designed for agro-industrial handling equipment, Con Star offers excellent vertical and lateral stability, a key feature for lifting operations. The large lugs increase the contact area and allow the tire to carry heavier loads. Its special compound reduces the risk of cuts and damages, for a longer service life.

EIMA is the major event for the Italian reference market and certainly the ideal venue for showcasing a selection of BKT's high-end products. The company will be at the tradeshow alongside UNIVERGOMMA, one of the leading tire importers and distributors in Italy. This is how Lucia Salmaso, MD of BKT Europe, explains the reasons for this partnership: “It is truly a pleasure for us to take part in the Bologna tradeshow together with UNIVERGOMMA, which has been our distributor for the Italian agricultural sector since 2010. Thanks to its capillary network of agents and specialized staff located throughout the national territory, UNIVERGOMMA guarantees quick deliveries and, most importantly, technical skills and professional after-sales service to customers. This is vitally important for us since BKT tires are highly technical products that require a competent and reliable presence on the market. It seems only fair to highlight this successful partnership at the EIMA tradeshow, where we are proud to present ourselves to its visitors as follows: BKT and UNIVERGOMMA - a partnership for a successful future… solid and reliable, just like the BKT tires.”
